Some well-known catalysts in enantioselective catalysis include:
1. Sharpless Epoxidation: Uses titanium-tartrate complexes to produce epoxides from allylic alcohols with high enantiomeric excess. 2. Jacobsen's Catalyst: Utilizes a manganese-salen complex to perform asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes. 3. BINAP-Ruthenium Complexes: Employed in asymmetric hydrogenation reactions, converting alkenes to chiral alkanes.
